PIN-TICKET.

v Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 25 1966. Serial No. 313.551.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, GUsTAv ALBIN'WAL* LIN, ect of the King. of Sweden, and resident of New York, county of New York, State of New York, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in Pin-Tickets, of which the following is a specification. I have devised a novel pinticket having a pin permanently attached thereto and provided with means .for easily attaching the ticket by means of the pin and efiec tively covering the pin oint and preventing interference of the .ticketed material with any other materials lying next to it or with which the said material is liable to come in contact.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figures 1, -2 and 3 illustrate one form of pin ticket; Figs. 4 and 5 a modification; igs. 6, 7 and 8 another modification; Figs. 9 and 10 another modification; and Figs. 11 and 12 still another modification.

Referring to the first three figures of the drawing, 1 is a pin ticket and 2 a piece of goods to which the said ticket is attached. The in itself is shown at 3, the same being provided at 4 with a sharp end or point and at 5 with what may be called a head which is clenched into the material of the ticket. The said ticket material may be cardboard,

' Manila paper, or other suitable paper or material capable of being easily marked. The ticket shown in Fig. 1 has an opening, 6, through whichthe pin point is thrust after having passed twice" through the goods.2. The attachment of the pin ticket to the goods by means of a pin forming a permanent part of the ticket in the manner described is very simple and easy. The said pin ticket 1 is also provided, as shown in Fig. 1, with a slot, 7, and a tongue, 8. After the pin ticket has been attached as described, the ticket is folded over along the line indicated at 9, Fig. 1, and the tongue 8 is thrust from behind into the slot 7, whereby the pin oint is fully covered and all danger of intererence with adjacent goods is avoided.

Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view through the goods and the pin ticket illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, and shows in dotted lines how the pin appears on being first thrust through the goods and in full lines how the pin hes after passing through the goods a second time and prior to the folding over of. the

lower end of the ticket as described.

folding line 9 is the pin-carrying portion, and the part below said line which is folded over directly upon the termed the flap.

The arrangement in Figs. from that already described mainly in'the fact that the tongue 8 is formed on the shorter fold of the pin ticket 1 at one end of the pin-carrying portion while the slot 7 is made in the longer fold or flap. shows the appearance of the ticket after the longer fold has been turned up and the tongue thrust through the slot.

In Figs. 6 and 7, the slot 7 is made in the short fold at the top of the pin-carrying portion of the ticket 1, while the tongue 8 is formed on a preferred long fold or flap so that when the parts are turned together, as shown in Fig. 7, the tongue 8 passes from the outside into the slot 7, leaving a joint between the upper and lower. folds.

Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view through the goods and the pin ticket shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the dotted lines in Fig. 8 illustrating the position of the pin 3 after it is first passed through the goods. The figure explains itself.

In Figs. 9 and 10 the tongue and slot shown in the earlier figures of the drawing are replaced by a pasted surface at one end of the flap of the pin ticket, as shown at 10. Wdren the ticket has been attached to the fabfi 'inother material, the flap, that is one half the ticket provided with the glued surface 10 is turned over and when this surface has been wetted and applied to the corresponding surface at the other end of the pincarrying portion of the ticket, the two ends may be made .to stick together, thereby protecting the pin and presenting an absolutely smooth external surface on the ticket.

Figs. 11 and 12 showthe glued ortion 10 attached to the end of a somew at longer fold or flap than appears in Fig. 9, so that the glued end after being wetted may be turned over and attached to the under part of the upper fold or pin-carrying portion whereby still another smooth external surface is presented by the ticket after the attachment has been made in the manner described.

The manner in which the pin head is fastened to the in ticketso as to form a permanent attac ent thereto is comparatively pin-carrying portion is 4 and 5 differs Patented Dec. 24, 190'). 7 i

receiving The mode illustrated is only one of a number which might I claim as my invention 1. The combination with a material to be marked, of a pin-ticket attached to one side only thereof, the said pin-ticket comprising aportion having a fiexlble pin permanently attached thereto and having an openingfor he said pin after passing through fthe'said material, a portion adapted to be folded directly upon the pin-carrying por tion, so as to cover the said pin, and means for-fastening the said folded portion to which the pin is attached.

- .2. A pin-ticket attachable to one side only of a material to be marked, said pin-ticket comprising a portion lying in a single plane and a pin permanently attached thereto, a flap adj oinmg and adapted to cover the said ortion and its attached pin, and means for astening the flap to the portion to which the pin is attached, said means comprising two elements between which the pin is attached to the ticket.
